I am continually amazed by the ease of marketing properties, agents and brokerages online these days. I remember when most agents were still saying the internet would never last, it would replace REALTORS and that the general populace would never go there first! Hmmmmm...I am so glad that I was...

It is a gorgeous day in the Texas Hill Country! Yesterday I blogged about licking my wounds after being told I basically wasn't good enough to handle a listing. Ouch...that kind of feedback hurts! I generally handle negative feedback well, I have learned to let it roll off my back as my Mom an...

First let me start with a caveat...I am a Texas REALTOR who does business in the Texas Hill Country and we are very fortunate that we have not been exposed to some of the tragic fallout of the economic woes that plague many other markets. With that being said I wake up this morning curious about...

I have never been a member of the MENSA society, but that hasn't stopped my desire for education. I admit it, I have an addiction (besides shoes), I am an education junkie! There, I said it...and yes I am aware that there are 21 step programs for people like me. But I prefer to work out my is...

it's for people too! We are surrounded by positive and negative in every aspect of our daily lives, yet much like the power housed in a little double A battery, we often fail to realize the power that we possess with respect to these two energies. My Dad used to tell me that every day is a se...

Have you ever heard of Toastmasters International? It's funny...you only get one of two responses when you ask that question. One is "What do they do, toast bread?" and the other is "I've heard of that, been a member or would like to try it." I learned about Toastmasters early in my life, in f...

I was taught a long time ago that when you set out to do something, you have to determine your "WHY" that thing or person that motivates you at your core to succeed at what you are setting out to accomplish. For the past 12 years my "WHY" has been my son Jordan. He is a true gift from God and i...
